Review: The Intern and the Senator (He Wanted Me Pregnant!) by Victoria Wessex

Intern Christina has been secretly lusting after Senator McKalvin ever
since she joined his re-election campaign. But though he's handsome and
powerful, he's almost twice her age: he couldn't possibly be interested
in an inexperienced twenty-two year-old!

Brendan McKalvin is sick of playing the good guy for the media. When it
looks like he's about to lose the election, he throws caution to the
wind...and comes clean about his feelings for the beautiful intern.

But what starts as a tryst on the senator's desk turns into something
deeper. Brendan realizes that Christina’s just what he’s been searching
for. She can give him the life—and the family—he’s always wanted. But
with the media watching, Brendan must choose whether he wants to win
the election...or win Christina's heart.

For some unknown reason, I really, really, really enjoyed this short
book. When I saw the title, I thought great "Monica Lewinsky and Bill
Clinton" which seems to have become the standard of illicit political
love affairs but this was not the case at all. It was not tawdry but
really well done and for some reason, the story appealed to me. Perhaps
it was the older guy, younger girl trope that she had going on. The
book was sexy and fun, but of course, as in all Victoria Wessex "He
Wanted Me Pregnant!" stories, you just can't take them seriously. At
least with this one, the couple had known each other longer than some
of the others that she's written, so it's a little more believable. I
say this in general for all of her books, there's a predictability to
them that I really enjoy. I know the kind of story I'm getting and she
makes no apologies for it, and I enjoy the stories. Perhaps they appeal
to the traditionalist in me. On some level, these stories are totally
primitive and feminists the world over will probably go up in arms
reading them, but I don't care. :-) I really enjoy them. They are a
fun, quick read and if you read them with a touch of a sense of humor,
you'll have a lot more fun with them than if you take them seriously.

About the author
I’m
best known for my He Wanted Me Pregnant! series of standalone steamy
romances. I live in London and have a day job. I enjoy loud music and
bad movies, I drink beer and not wine and my concession to a girly side
is my modest but very real shoe addiction. I hit the USA Today
bestseller list in August 2014 and my books have hit the #1 spot in
four different Amazon categories, for which I’m eternally grateful to
my readers.

About Me

I love all things beauty and makeup, reading and books, and also have a keen interest in cooking and food. Combined with a husband who loves wine, we write a number of blogs that align with our interests. I have two blogs: Deanna's World which focuses on all things books and beauty, and Daz In The Kitchen which is my cooking and food blog. I hope you visit and stay around.

I loved Skye Warren's Beauty series and His For Christmas and her writing is excellent but this just is too dark for me. I know it is branded as dark erotica and I thought that I would take a chance on the novella / prequel to the series...

Even though the world this book is based in consists of elves and are one of my favorite character races to read about (which was why I got excited and picked up this prequel) reading this did not make me want to run out and grab the fir...
